Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist. Super Lawyers 10 years. $50+ million recovered.
Pennsylvania Uber/Lyft Drivers spend much of the workday on the road, which means a crash while working can trigger two separate claims under Pennsylvania law, not just one.
Workers' compensation is no-fault coverage through your employer that pays your medical bills and about two-thirds of your lost wages. Because so much of a pennsylvania uber/lyft driver's pay can come from overtime, bonuses, or mileage, calculating your true average weekly wage correctly is critical, and it is an area insurers frequently get wrong.
A third-party personal injury claim against the driver who caused the crash recovers what comp does not: full wage loss and pain and suffering. Together the two claims maximize what an injured pennsylvania uber/lyft driver can recover.
How we work: Attorney Michael Cardamone is a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist who handles your workers' comp claim directly, and we coordinate with our heavyweight Personal Injury colleagues on any third-party case so the two work together to maximize your total recovery.
Yes. If you were working when the crash happened and another driver was at fault, you may collect workers' compensation through your employer and also file a third-party claim against the at-fault driver. Both can proceed at the same time.
Workers' comp pays about two-thirds of your average weekly wage, not all of it. The remaining third, plus pain and suffering, can be recovered through the third-party claim. Making sure overtime and bonuses are included in your wage calculation is critical.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there is no fee unless we win your case, and your consultation is always free. Call (215) 206-9068.
